Explanation / Answer

in first one.. the issue is order of catch statements... you must place catch of FileNotFoundException before catch of Exception..

right now it is always going to Exception as Exception is a parent class of all exceptions. so order mist be changed like this :-

public class ReadTextFile {

    private Scanner input; // Ignore the hint given by NetBeans

    public void openFile() {
        try {
            input = new Scanner(new File("accountrecords.txt"));
        }

catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
            System.out.println("Error - File Not Found: accountrecords.txt");
        }

catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Something bad just happened here.");
        }
  
    }
}

In second one eagleLanding method must call the object of exception class not the class itself. Like below

private static void EagleLanding() throws EagleLandingException
    {
throw new EagleLandingException("There is a problem with the Eagle!");
    }

let me know if you need anything else in this. I'll answer in comments
